Gravi-Tech™ polymer-metal composites are high density materials developed as thermoplastic-based alternatives to lead and other traditional metals

Reinforced polymer materials are increasingly being used for structural applications because they allow manufacturers to replace traditional metal components with lighter-weight plastics. Long fiber composites, in particular, are well-suited for replacing metal, offering exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and the ease of injection molding, which can expand design options and streamline processing steps.   However, transitioning from metal to plastic requires thorough technical analysis and preparation.

Formulations are heavy metal-free and manufactured using state-of-the-art pigment dispersion techniques that improve homogenization and color distribution during injection molding. Heavy metal-free Metal-free formulations to boost color consistency and increase speed to market
